Text 2
The cohesiveness( 内聚力 )of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine practices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however ,working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours--what we here call "shift work"--makes the lives of families difficult.
Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage ,including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the
majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to support the family ;wives are "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.
The women' s definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife' s response: I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking, when it' s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.
To husbands, a good wife is someone who is:
Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don' t want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I don' t know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.
51.Despite__,shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life
[A]traditional beliefs about marriage
[B]lack of control over time
[C]a very clear division of roles
[D]the demands of work
52.From the selection,we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with——
[A]their work
[B]their children
[C]their husbands’ inability to protect the family and provide companionship
[D]leisure activities
33.What is implied by the author?
[A]Shift work had a direct effect on the attitudes and behavior of family members.
[B]Shift workers could live a normal life.
[C]Shift work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage.
[D]Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families.
54.In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers,——.
[A]wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands ale absent
[B]shift work couples must administer their time and activities
[C]wives mustn’t adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands’ work
[D]all of these
55.The best title for this paragraph is——.
[A]Constructing Family Life
[B]Managing Time and Activities
[C]The Meaning of Marriage
[D]Living a Normal Life

大多数年轻人都喜欢体育运动,散步、骑自行车、足球或是登山
这些热爱攀登既高又费力的山峰的登山者们经常令人感到惊奇。
为什么人们愿意经受严寒和困难去高高的山上冒险呢?这种惊奇很可
能是由登山与人们从事的其他休闲运动之间的差别引起的。
不同于高尔夫球和足球这样的游戏活动,没有人为登山制定规则。
当然,登山有不同种类的规定,不遵守这些规定,登山就会很危险。正
是由于不受人为制定规则的制约,登山吸引了很多人登山者可以自由
地使用自己的方法。
如果把登山和其他我们熟悉的体育运动做比较,我们可能会认为它
们之间一个很大的不同就是登山不是一项“集体运动”。要是这样想那
我们就错了。确实,登山队伍之间没有竞争比赛,但是当登山者们处于
岩石表面,他们的生命系于这根绳索之上时,很明显这就是团队合作。
登山者清楚他必须同比人类更强大更有力的自然力量做斗争。他
从事的体育项目要求他具备很高的心理和身体素质。
登山者可以年复一年地不断提高技能。一个滑雪手可能在30岁时
就过了竞技的黄金年龄,大多数国际网球冠军是刚刚20出头。然而五
六十岁的人登上阿尔卑斯山脉中的最高峰却一点也不稀奇。他们也许
比年轻人要付出更多的时间,但他们技巧更加娴熟,省了不少体力。当
然,他们会享受到同样多的乐趣。
答案及解析
26.A【解析】此题考查词语搭配。have a passion for th.为固定搭配,
意为“对…有强烈的感情、爱好”
27.D【解析】此题考查动词短语的搭卧!和对文意的理解。A项look up
to意为“仰慕,尊敬(某人)”;B项look forward意为“期待,盼
望”,与介词to搭配;C项look into意为“调查(问题、
罪行等)”;
只有D项look upon(又作look on)有“把…看作,把…视为”之
意,符合原文的意思。
28.A【解析】此题考查对上下文的理解。A项willing意为“愿意的”,
前一句话已表明人们热爱攀登高山险山,根据上下文推测,此处
应为“愿意的”。
29.C【解析】此题考查短语辨析和对文意的理解。B项run risk意勾
“冒险”,有被动地处于危险之中的意思;C项take a risk也为“冒
险”之意,但不同于B项,这里有明知道有危险也要主动去冒险
的意思。根据上下文推测,既然登山者愿意遭受严寒克服困难
应该是主动去冒险。
30.A【解析】give leisure to sth.的意思是“把空闲时间用于…”。
31.D【解析】此句的意思是“像高尔夫和足球那样的游戏”,因为词性
不同,当修饰单数名词时,so的用法是so+adj+a(n)+n.,如
so tall a man;而such的用法是such+a(n)+adj,+n.,如such
a beautiful girl。
32.C【解析】此句意为“不遵守规定登山会很危险”。C项ignore
“忽视,不理”,最符合题意。
33.B【解析】此题考查对语法句型的掌握。“It is…that…”为强调句型
34.A【解析】此题考查对文意的理解。文中的意思是“登山者们自由
地选择登山方法”,故选择A项。
35.D【解析】此题考查词义辨析。C项compare with意为“与…比
较”;D项contrast with意为“对比,对照”,指比较某一物与另一
物,以显出它们相异之处,出现明显的差别。此句后面有“one
big difference”。
36.D【解析】连词that引导的从句作系动词is的表语。可根据选项的
词性和其在句子中作的语法成分进行分析。
37.D【解析】此题考查介词的用法。D项between意为“在…之间”
句意为“登山队伍之间没有竞争比赛,这是事实”。
38.C【解析】此题考查词义辨析。depend on sb.or sth.指“需要某人
或某物的支持和帮助”,文章的意思是“他们的生命取决于一根
绳索”。且depend与介词on搭配。
39.D【解析】此题考查词义辨析。A,C,D项都有“力量”之意。但
strength强调“力量的强度”;power指“运用能力或是体力和脑力
来做某事”;force指“实施力量,产生行动或是征服对手”,最符
合题意。
40.B【解析】这里与mental“智力的”相对应的应为physical“体力的”。
41.B【解析】此题考查对文意的理解。根据此句后面的year after year,
此处应选有“持续”之意的动词B项。
42.C【解析】系动词be+in+one’s twenties表示“在某人二十多岁
时”。因为主语是名词复数,故选C。
43.A【解析】
此题考查词义辨析和对文意的理解。A项unusual意勾
“不寻常的”根据上下文,双重否定表示肯定。
44.D【解析】根据对上下文的理解。爬山者年龄大应该“使用更多的
时间”。
45.D【解析】A项shortage意为“短缺”;D项waste意为“浪费”。此处
指保存体力,不浪费体力。

美国准备着迎接世界上最大的足球盛宴,他们有史以来第一次;
了世界杯。当全世界有数以百万计的人在踢足球时,这项运动在美:
刚刚火热起来.。大批美国青年人对足球感兴趣还是最近30年的
但现在它是美国发展最快的运动。一项最近的调查显示大约有一’
百万的美国青年男女踢足球。
这项调查同样表明,足球已经开始代替更多的传统运动,比如,
球,成为学生当中最流行的运动。因此,世界杯下周开赛时预计去:
的美国人超过一百万。主办方声称这一届的世界杯会成为历史上:
大的一届。52场比赛中大部分场次的座位已全部售完。
足球在美国仅仅有一百多年的历史,但这项运动是怎样流传到:
国家的?足球在世界其他地方存在多久了?没有人确切地知道足:
从哪里起源或是人们从什么时候开始踢足球。某些科学家表示,有
证明用脚玩的球类运动几千年前就有了。现在也有证据显示古希腊
罗马和美国土著印第安人玩类似于足球的运动。
大部分专家都承认英国是现代足球的发源地,他们同样也认为
把足球传播到了世界各地。不同的是,现在比赛中用的足球是人造
或是皮革质地,而过去使用的球常常是用动物的胃做的。早期足球
的规则也与现在有所不同。
答案及解析
46.C【解析】是非题。见文中第一段第六句提到,足球在美国是
最快的运动,但没有说在世界范围内是发展最快的运动。
47.B【解析】细节题。见第二段第一句,“...soccer is beginning to
replace more traditional games like American football as the most
popular sport among students.”可知“American football”是在青少年
中最为流行的传统运动。故选B。
48.A【解析】细节题。见第三段第一句话。
49.B【解析】细节题。见最后一段第一句,英国是现代足球的发明
50.B【精析】推理题。文中最后一段讲述了英国足球是现代足球的
国,接下来就应该介绍一下足球在英国的发展才符合逻辑。

一个家庭的内聚力似乎要依靠家庭成员们一起做一些常规的
来维系。然而由于美国劳动力人数的增多,在非正常工作时间的轮
作,也就是我们通常所说的“换班工作”,使家庭生活面临困境
。
现有的调查表明男性和女性的倒班工人都承认压力很大,工作和家庭生活的需求相互冲突。但是,从事换班_工作的夫妇们仍然保持着婚姻的意义和夫妻各自责任的传统观念。他们表示仍然愿意“不惜一切代价”实现他们认为正常的婚姻生活,譬如牺牲睡眠时间或是在非常时间去做一些惯例的事情。大多数接受采访的夫妇,甚至是那些妻外工作的家庭都认为,正常家庭生活的显著特点还是清楚的分工:是家庭的“支撑者”,他们的主要责任是养活全家,而妻子仍然是“主妇,她们负责打扫、做 饭、照顾丈夫和孩子。
以下是一个妻子对“好丈夫”的定义,这代表了所有女人的看法:
我希望他能养家。在我需要的时侵陪在我身边,和我热衷于相同的,
事物。希望他也愿意支配我,就像我期望的那样。这么说吧,在需要他
表现得像个男人的时候,我希望他挺身而出,而不是坐视不管,却想让我
去处理一切。
丈夫们眼中的好妻子是这样的:
她要理解我在工作中的感受。我需要在工作时受尊重,我希望能在
工作中找副受尊重的感觉。我要我的妻子明白我对工作的期望。我可
不想每天下班回家的时候,她唠叨个没完,因为我也不知道这是否有意义。
以上的观点对于维护那些轮班工作的夫妻家庭是至关重要的。

你无法改变你的能量周期,但你可以使你的生活习惯更加适应它。
克莱特曼博士认为习惯是有帮助的。也许你晚上很困,但你觉得无论如

使我快乐。在我更小一些的时候,这个季节里我常常踩着正在融化的冰
雪,走过路边,穿过田间大片大片的树林,呆在野外我是如如此的兴奋
年中的这个季节呆在城市里是很难受的,或许我应该马上去露营。
索西娅:在城市里,没有四季的变换,春雨不会使人工建筑生长
湿的路面也不会使你不便,因为你坐在车里移动,夏热不再是问题,
使你的房间像秋天一样凉爽。城市的颜色也不会变化因为自然的,
不足以像改变树林的颜色那样来改变城市。冬雪没有使任何东西变白;
留下的只是泥泞的道路。
哈诺:佐治亚下雪是很有趣的事情,就像上个礼拜电视
上每天有24
小时天气预报,就因为可能会下雪.因为这些预告,学校停课了,到最后,
却只下了雨。但是如果坚持到底的话,规则就是取消上课了,这是
的好借口。人们涌向杂货店去买牛奶和面包——我不知道为什么,但是
他们这样做了。在我成长的时候,这里每年要下1-2场大雪,但是近几
年却没有下过一场,该死的全球变暖!
麦克兰:那多漂亮啊,我坚信在2月份我们拥有像秋天11月份那-
爽的天气,从我的孩提时代起,二月份这个温暖的时期变得一年比一
强,一年比一年长,这个时期最终在3月至少一次的暴风雪之中结束,
任何一个人都会熬过这些暴风雪,因为我们都知道它们只会持续几天

From the graph,we can see that there were two peaks of accidents
2007.One was in March with the number of 35 The other was in with the number of 42,which was the highest point of the distribution From August on,the number of car accidents had been decreasing reached the lowest point of the year in December.
There were several possible reasons for the distribution of car accidents
First,weather might have played an important role.Two peaks occurred in
spring and summer,the two seasons which had most of the year’s rain.Driving tends to be more dangerous in rainy days.Second,people might
been alerted by the high number of accidents in March and August,
less and less accidents in later months.
